Two high-ranking police officers, an inspector and a sergeant will face a disciplinary hearing and possibly other sanctions after an internal police report revealed that they had made errors in judgment in the treatment of a domestic violence case that resulted in the death of a woman.
According to the public information radio France Inter, which had access to the report of the national police inspectorate (IGPN), four police officers of different levels of responsibility based in Mérignac (Gironde) in the south-west of France, have made mistakes over a period of several months with regard to the Chahinez. Daoud case.
They are due to receive a letter from the National Police Director in the coming days and will be questioned by an internal disciplinary board.
On March 15, Chahinez Daoud, 31, mother of three, lodged a complaint at the Mérignac police station against her husband Mounir Boutaa for locking her in a car and punching her.
Boutaa, 44, had already been sentenced to prison for domestic violence and was released in December 2020, without an electronic bracelet.
In June, a first inspection report highlighted a series of failures in the police chain of command and the judicial system in following up the case.
For example, the officer in charge of withdrawing the complaint would not have filed the documentation correctly and it would have arrived late in the court system.
It was also revealed that both the services responsible for monitoring Boutaa after his release from prison and the police did not communicate adequately in order to locate the man before he returned to attack his wife.
On May 4, Boutaa ambushed his wife outside her house in broad daylight, shooting her first before setting her on fire.
One of the main mistakes, according to the police report, was that the Family Protection Unit, experienced in such cases, was not contacted early enough.
